My Core Values
Transparency
Transparency
People want to know what decisions are being made in the city. All the information is publicly available, but few people access it. I am committed to making City Council's decisions as available and understandable as possible.

Listening Well
Listening Well
As a leader, I need to understand the needs and concerns of all the residents of Mebane. That means listening first and listening well. I will ask questions, recognize what I do not know or have not experienced, and learn.
Kindness
Kindness
Kindness is easy with those who are like us and agree with us. True kindness shines in midst of differences and disagreement. I am committed to kindness at all times and in all circumstances.
Compassion
Compassion
There are many people in Mebane that are suffering, needy, and hurting. Many have not had the opportunities that I have had. My decisions and perspectives will be driven by understanding and compassion for the most needy and vulnerable.

Public Service
Public Service
I am here to serve Mebane. I am not focused on national issues or on hot-button political topics. I want to be known as a public servant, and hopefully never as a politician.
Jonathan with Rebecca Royal, retired principal of South Mebane Elementary School
Collaboration, listening, understanding and bringing people together: that is how problems are solved. Working with South Mebane Elementary as a mentor was an example of that in action. Together we can follow that same approach to strengthen Mebane.
